[nagdu] AT PILOT :)

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Oh boy, where do I start?
    The one thing that comes to mind immediately is relieving the dogs. It 
is different at every school, but it must be similar to a certain extent. 
Anyway, your dog has probably been living in the kennel for the last few 
months, so be patient when you relieve him/her. It may take a while for your 
dog to get used to going at the designated times.
    Okay, and the other thing that just popped into my head. At some 
schools, they show you how to teach the dogs extra commands, such as finding 
certain things. I would not use this too much until you and the dog bond 
more.
